Chapter 296: Strange Fruit
Seeing that this thing didn't move and was really just a vine, the four of them were obviously relieved.
Then it became excitement.
"This tree is so special. I have never heard of or seen it before. This is also the first time I have seen it in this secret realm. It must be a good thing!" said a female cultivator happily.
"This fruit doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing. It looks so pleasing." The male cultivator looked up at the fruit, "I don't know what effect it has."
"Let's just pick some, and take one or two out to sell when we get out of the secret realm. Then we'll know what it's good for." A female cultivator in red suggested, "We'd better not eat it easily before we know its function."
This is what Chen Lan taught them.
If you see something you don't recognize in a secret realm, don't put everything into your mouth, otherwise if you get poisoned, there will be no way to get rid of it.
If you want to be more careful, you can wrap your hands with something like cloth before picking the fruits to avoid direct contact with your skin and thus poisoning.
"Okay, let's try it?"
"Don't worry, I'll knock off another fruit and see what it looks like. I feel like it looks a little..."
The only male cultivator stopped his companions, then threw out another leaf, accurately cutting off the fruit stalk, and the small pink fruit fell straight to the ground.
It rolled on the ground and rolled in front of the four people.
"Oh, what a coincidence, it just rolled here, let me take a look..." The female cultivator in red laughed and bent down to pick it up.
The moment her skin touched the fruit, her fingers felt a warmth and tenderness, as if she was touching not a fruit but a child's pink face.
This was so weird that the female cultivator subconsciously retracted her finger and her face changed. "Something is wrong..."
"Be careful!" the other three screamed.
Because just after she touched the fruit, it actually moved.
It wasn't rolling, but it was moving as if there was something inside. Something inside the peel bulged a little, like...
That thing was also trying to touch the female cultivator's hand!
This scene was so horrifying that the three people who saw it clearly felt their hair stand on end almost instantly and cold sweats broke out on their backs!
And the change comes afterwards.
When one fruit is "startled", all the fruits on the tree begin to shake, swaying left and right happily and excitedly among the trees.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, which became louder and louder, as if a strong wind had suddenly blown up.
The wind is moving, the trees are moving, the fruits are moving, and the vines hanging on the trees are also moving.
At first, no one noticed anything unusual about the vine, because when the whole tree was shaking, its movement seemed very normal.
until……
“Quick, look…”
A female cultivator's teeth were chattering as she spoke. She pointed her slender finger at the severed vine on the ground, her eyes filled with fear.
The other three looked over and gasped.
That half vine was moving, automatically without wind, as if it was swimming on the ground. It was a little stiff at first, but slowly it became flexible.
The other half grew again from the broken end, and after it became complete, it swam towards the four people. Suddenly, a tongue stretched out from the thicker end, and it swam towards them with a "hissing" sound.
It really is a snake!
Not only that, the vines on the tree were moving flexibly. They broke away from the treetops, bounced to the ground one by one, and then swam towards the four people.
"ah--"
The four of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they quickly turned around and ran away.
But humans are inherently slower than snakes, and they have been in a daze for too long, so it is too late to run now!
They also realized this and had to stop.
"Don't run away, fight!"
The red-robed female cultivator said with tears in her eyes.
These tears were not controlled by her, but were completely caused by the terrifying scene just now.
Her hands and feet were still a little weak, but when she thought about the consequences if she didn't resist, she suddenly felt infinite strength.
At worst, we can just fight!
The four of them stood back to back, with the male cultivator with the highest cultivation level holding a sword to resist, while the other three were frantically taking things out of their Qiankun bags.
As long as they were offensive talismans, they took them out and threw them out without any mercy. There were loud bangs and explosions, and several snakes were blown up and turned into a bloody mass.
But there were too many snakes in the trees. These were not enough, far from enough.
"Hurry, ask the Peak Master for help!" the male cultivator reminded.
Only then did they remember that Chen Lan had distributed yellow smoke talismans to everyone, so that when they encountered danger, they could throw out the talismans and ask for help from their teammates.
The yellow smoke talisman flew into the air and emitted a puff of thick smoke. The height was actually quite low, so only people who were close could notice it.
[Poor kids, they must be scared silly, right?]
[But don't be afraid, these snakes are only good looking but not very powerful. 】
【And it’s non-toxic! 】
[This is a rare opportunity to practice physical skills. In terms of speed, the baby vine snakes are the best among all snakes. It is a rare opportunity to fight with them.]
Chen Lan quietly watched the four people fighting with many baby vine snakes, and couldn't help but feel worried.
Because of her junior sister, she actually knew the vital point of this infant vine snake, so it was no exaggeration to say that she could defeat the enemy with one move.
But as Jiuwei said, this opportunity is too rare, so why not let the disciples use them to hone their skills.
It can not only practice physical skills and increase combat experience, but also enhance courage.
The most important thing is that it can make these four people remember that not everything can be touched casually.
"Oh my god, what is this?"
"Ruxue, we are here to help!"
Soon, some disciples who were nearby rushed over. They were also shocked when they saw this strange scene, but when they saw that the four people did not seem to be in danger of life, they hurried forward to help.
Disciples from nearby came one after another, and soon there were more than thirty disciples gathered. However, compared with the tree full of baby vine snakes, their number was still not enough.
Chen Lan watched with interest.
Not to mention, with more people, there were more ideas, and everyone put their heads together, which really caused some trouble for these snakes -
"I'll try using Dan fire to burn them."
"I haven't had a chance to use my new magic weapon yet. It's called the Wanren Blade Wheel. Please move aside, or I'm going to throw it away!"
"What do you think if I sprinkle poison powder? Will these snakes be afraid of poison?"
"Uh, I think the poison powder will poison us first, right?"
"I have the antidote...but it seems that there is not enough antidote for so many of us."
"Woo woo, there's another snake wrapped around my neck, help me..."
